Do we really need Smart Cities?

Good morning.

This is Shivangi. As per my point of view, a smart city is a necessity because eventually each and every country is doing its best in making their cities smarter and as a result, India is still behind. Making cities smarter results in employment generation, good facilities which in turn results in making our economy stronger.

Hi, this is Priya.

According to me, the need of smart cities quite embracing as we already came up with smart cities like Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad wes developed technologically and commercially. Due to the migration from villages to nearby cities leads to increase in population. It may create employment opportunities but general consumers facilities will be worse and the cost of living will also more it becomes difficult for middle and poor class families.

We can expect more smart cities only when making already existed smart cities to pollution-free and with abundant resources.

According to me, YES, we really need to convert our city's into smart cities.

I'll give all of you one simple example, which I had experienced before 3 days.

There were drinking water supply pipeline leakage, and after 6 hours we came to know that, we won't have the water supply on that day.

So there was a time delay of information and inconvenience of common people.

So smart city will include embedded systems, software, control room. So if there is any leakage embedded systems informed to control systems and without any time delay it'll convey to common people.

Yes, we are in a need of smart city. It is not only good for people of India but also in terms of status. Every city in the world is becoming advanced day by day. But for the smart city to be positive people should also determine to contribute 100 percent. The should maintain hygiene, not to throw waste here there, not split anywhere. Factors such as eve-teasing should be stopped. Corruption should also be stopped. Then only we disserve smart city.

Then standard of living will also improve!

Thankyou.

Hi all, in my point of view, smart cities are really needed for a developing country, because smart cities will help in creating a lot of employment in our country. Nowadays unemployment is increasing day by day. But while constructing smart cities as my friend Ankit Verma said we really need smart people and also it should be eco-friendly. Development should happen by protecting our nature.

Yes, we need smart cities and it's good idea but first develop the rural areas very well. In rural areas many problems are in there like electricity problem, education problem, water problem etc. Thanks.

Hello every one.

Imagining about smart cities in India is fare enough but before that we need to see whether the public who are going to live in smart cities are smart enough or not like we see on our daily basis that some people are there who don't care about the environtments and split shits like pan and etc here and there, so before smart cities we need to make these people smart first.

Smart city concept in India is invalid. Instead, we should focus on basic amenities, infrastructures, and fair transparent government services.

Although all the criteria's mentioned above are taken consideration by gov. Smart city mission. Look smart city is the vision of government. In India, all policies and vision struck in the implementation policies. So whatever govt has said about smart cities, let's accept that, because at least from gov. Side cities are getting importance.

If the mission name could be in the Indian language, the debate over a smart city would be very less. Then it would be seen as a separate concept. Our prime concern is to improve the quality of city life. But we are struck by the concept of the smart city. The name does not matter. What are the features matter.

The general image of the smart city in India is now somewhat exclusionary. What about the job of ews and lig section, where will be they accommodated, after five years will gov continue the 100 crore fund each year.

The good part of the story is technology is going to be used for quicker and fair solutions, the hardest part of Indian administrative system. Even the birth certificate can be downloaded from your home, you don't need to wait for the clerk in dilapidated gov. offices.

Yes, we are in need of smart cities. Where in most of the countries like Japan, Singapore, Australia in these countries small states are also well developed. So we need to develop our villages as smart cities.

Yes, I agree with all of you. But according to my opinion, a city should be termed as a smart city if it possess some salient features of the smart city like proper sewage, drainage system, proper town planning, proper space for a playground and basic amnesties required for life, and hence every city should be smart city and it is very much relevant.
